Founded in 1994 by two AIDS activists, Ultra-red has expanded over the years to include activists and organizers from a variety of social movements in Los Angeles, New York City, and abroad. Members organize around concerns related to migrant rights, the HIV/AIDS crisis, hous- ing justice, and anti-racism. The collective has partnered with numerous community-based organizations and movement groups, including Union de Vecinos in East Los Angeles and House Lives Matter in New York City. In art circles, Ultra-red is known for studying, developing, and testing procedures for collective listening that contribute directly to political struggles.
